Last week, we had the opportunity to conduct training for the Kenya Agricultural Research Institute Staff Pension Scheme on Risk Management and Risk Register Development. The sessions were expertly led by our seasoned trainers: Yankees Mukabwa – Senior Corporate Finance, and WILBERFORCE AMUGUNE (The Steward) – Senior Manager, Corporate Finance. The training covered components of a risk management framework, the importance of a risk register for the retirement benefits scheme, and the key components of a risk register, among other areas. At Ndakala Advisory, we are committed to promoting lifelong learning and equipping professionals with the latest tools and skills to enhance decision-making and drive strategic success.

Reflecting on my journey in the risk management industry, I’m reminded how knowledge-sharing has been at the core of my work. From boardrooms to classrooms, I believe education is a powerful tool transforming individuals and industries alike. One of the most meaningful experiences was volunteering at Pros and Expert in Nigeria, where I taught various subjects to students preparing for the Chartered Insurance Institute of Nigeria (CIIN) exams. Offering specialized guidance, I saw firsthand the impact of focused education on emerging professionals. In every role, I’ve strived to create opportunities to foster growth—whether by leading workshops, guiding new teams, or supporting colleagues in their own learning journeys. Today, my passion for education drives me to share financial knowledge on my platforms, especially for immigrants like myself in North America. Financial literacy is a cornerstone for success, and I am committed to helping others unlock its potential. Let’s continue pushing the boundaries of what we can achieve together through education! 🌱 #Education #KnowledgeSharing #FinancialLiteracy #RiskManagement #ImmigrantSupport #CIIN #Empowerment
